Hi! I'm Heather

A Little About Me

I’m so glad you are here, thanks for stopping by! This section was made just for you.

I help my clients develop happier workplaces. Micro businesses to large corporations; white-collar to blue-collar. I stay current with the latest research, practices and trends making my material most relevant to modern workplace challenges.

My background is in Human Resources and Organizational Development. I have an HR degree from Hawaii Pacific University and maintain my PHR designation. Thankfully, I have had the great pleasure of holding key HR and Training roles for the last 10 years of my 20 years in the workforce.

When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with my family, giving back to local charitable organizations, surfing, practicing yoga…and on a great day, enjoying a piece of delicious bacon!

How Can I Help?

Coaching

Personalized, one-on-one development based on the feedback of those that matter most professionally. Programs cover 12 key competencies that, when mastered, result in the participant being happier and more successful at work.

Training

Group training and workshops that are geared to help team members build their relationships with one another and get more results at work. Sessions range from 30 minutes to 8 hours. We work with you to design an agenda that suits your team best.

Advising

When you just need some good ole fashion advice. Arrange a meeting (by phone, video or face-to-face) and we can help you get unstuck and back on the path to being happy at work.

Start Now! Get Happier At Work

Here’s a quickie to remind you that if you have started trying to be happier at work, well then just keep practicing. Keep doing what you are doing. You WILL get better at it. Forming new habits and trying new things isn’t easy, but keep at it. Like learning anything new, the start is bumpy […]

As a leader, you have a lot on your plate. Two major responsibilities are retaining your top talent and being mindful of the company resources, especially the financial resources. Instead of looking outside your team to address these concerns, look inward. Making simple adjustments to what you assign to your team, the challenges they work […]

Company culture is all the buzz these days – many business leaders have started investing in exercises like core values development, honing in on their mission and getting reconnected with their “why”. I support these efforts wholeheartedly, but at the same time, an unfortunate truth still remains – the workplace is plagued with assholes. Assholes […]

Praise from Happy Clients

Without a doubt, Heather has helped me grow as a leader. Admittedly, I was skeptical at first, having been through a variety of programs over my many years in management. Heather helped me see that I could connect better with my staff, improve communication and get organized. I have implemented many of her suggestions and now rely on her to assist in developing other leaders in our Keller Willaims Honolulu ohana. I strongly recommend Heather to anyone looking to grow as a leader.

Each time I engage with Heather, I am impressed with the outcome. She gets to the heart of the matter, is assertive and jumps at opportunities to help us grow in our communication, relationships, and productivity. She truly does help us be happier at work. I highly recommend her for a variety of coaching, training and group facilitation services.

Heather was polished, professional, and displayed her mastery in our session on Tough Conversations. Since then, every single participant has told me that they used elements of the training in a tough conversation at work or at home, which proved that the time and money we invested in the session were worthwhile.
